Discussion on Circular - Personal Portfolio HTML Template

I love the theme though I noticed one thing…there seems to be an issue with the navigation being slightly off center when using the media query with a max width of 640px. It’s hard to notice with your live preview because there are four categories. But, if you have three or five categories it’s easy to notice it since the circle for the middle category is not lined up with the vertical line (repeated dot.png). It seems to be about 6px to the left. To keep it centered I changed

#nav ul li { min-width: 50px; font-size: 0.875em; }

on line 890 of style.css so the min-width is at least 63px.

Also, I was thinking of adding the Retina.js like ReagentX mentioned in the comments but when I look at his site on my iPhone I do indeed see the flashing he is talking about with the thumbnails of their work. It seems to be bouncing between the 1x and 2x image files. I haven’t actually tried implementing it on my site though. We will see how it goes.

Hi there, thanks for the purchase and the kind words! Also thanks for pointing out the issue, I’ll have a look at it and try to figure out what’s going on. We’re in the process of updating the scripts and plugins used with Circular so this could be a good time to have a look at other possible issues too. I have my suspicions about the flashing deal that it my be caused by the skills/testimonials slider, since it seems to also add a little blur on the nav items as well on each slide transition, but we’ll need to test properly and see how we can add Retina.js by default it it.

Thanks for this beautiful template! It looks beautiful. I wonder whether you would like to help my by showing how to use a rotating picture instead of the ‘skills wrap’ on the about-page. The texts may stay on their place. Can you provide the code for this?

We’re in the process of going through a lot of our templates and themes these days and upgrading scripts to the latest versions and doing some testing. We’ll have a closer look at this and hopefully come up with a solution to enable retina images.

Good news T. We’ve been working on updating the scripts. Did some major changes to some of the scripts, added new features and as it look now, the template serves images with Retina.js ( now include by default ) without issues. We’ll submit the update for review in a few hours and if you have notifications ON, you’ll be notified about the update. Thing is, you’ll have to port your existing content in the new template as we’ve removed a good deal of the scripts, replaced some and did some in-depth changes to both HTML, CSS and JS.

We’re going through a back log of support issues and we’ll reply to your email too. Considering you asked about it 5 months ago and we asked you for a message and at that time we never got one, we believed you managed to sort it out yourself. This is the first email we get from you and we’ve added it to our queue.
